12 Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life (Continued from Tenth Page.) Tt is the first home which this Repub- lo has ever owned in the French Capital, but at that, it is a few years ahead of the French Republic in this Capital, in that France, though own- ing a handsome tract of ground at Sixteenth and Fuller streets, has never owned a domicile. Mr. Herrick reports a supreme intersst shown by American residents in Paris, or merely visiting there, in Uncle Sam's new domicile and their cordial indorsement of the idea of the United States own- ing instead of leasing an embassy There is also a renewed effort to mark the former American legations and embassles, especially those in which illustrious statesmen, scholars or authors have resided. There are four houses in Paris bearing a brass tablet which tells that the esteemed Dr. Benjamin Franklin had lived during such years. Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe were ministers to Paris and their homes near the University and on the left side of the Seine, are also marked. John Marshall, Eldridge Gerry, Robert Livingston, Lewis Case, Tichard Rush are all outstanding among the predecessors of Mr. Herrick, whose homes are to be marked by the American Legion. In more recent days, some of the dis- tinguished men who were sent by this Republic to that of France are White- law Reid, James B. Eustis, Gen. Hor- ace Porter, Robert S. McCormick and Robert Bacon Universal interest centers in the House of Representatives in the open- ing session of the Sixty-ninth Con- gress, in that three women will be counted among the members, Mrs. Mary F. Norton, Democrat, of Jersey City, N. J., who was regularly elected last November, and Mrs. Julius Kahn of San Francisco, and Mrs. John Jacob Rogers of Lynn, Mass., Republi- cans, who were chosen in special elec- tions to succeed their husbands, who have died during the term to which they had been elected. Mrs. Norton is a nger in Washington, though she. ed some weeks. here in the pring and was entertained at the White House, together with other members of Congress-elect. She is the wife of Robert F. Norton, a cooper of Jersey City, and both she and her hus band have been for years powerful factors in the regular Democratic party organization of. their home. Mrs. Kahn came to Washington first when her late husband was elected to the Fifty-sixth Congress, and during these succeeding 26 years, she has become a familiar figure in the social political realm. Mrs. Kahn was in the group of 12 women who were the actual founders of the Congressional Club and who co- operated with Mrs. James Breck Per- kins, wife of the member from Roches- ter, N. Y., in her initial effort to or- ganize this now powerful and pros- perous club. Mrs. Rogers can claim a residence in Washington since the ex tra session called by President Wilson in April, 1913, and while she has been eminent in the social worid and many times the hostess for Representative Stephen Porter of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on forelgn affairs, who is a_widower, she is more affiliated with Red Cross work and with splendid service at Walter Reed.| Washington has seen her more fre- quently in the simple attire of the nurse than in usual festive garments. Never before have three women sat in the House at the same time, two having been the maximum until Mrs. Rogers swept her district last_month against the former governor, Eugene Noble Foss. Mrs. Coolidge has a special prefer- ence for white flowers, which is dis- tinct from Mrs. Harding’s aversion to them, hence that fine bed of phlox which is wasting its sweetness on the desert air at the extreme limit of the White House garden where it adjoins Pennsylvania avenue. This bed was once in the more intimate flower plot about the mansion, but the plants were removed by Mrs. Harding to make room for the gay blossoms about the fron fence below ‘the south veranda. The phlox s wonderful this Summer in height and fullness of blossom, and it seems too bad that Mrs. Coolidge cannot enjoy it. With the Vvivid green of the lawn against the feathery leafage of the stalks, these phlox flowers are a restful vi- slon to those hurrying by in the blis- tering sun, and their place so near the street was to perform this very kindly missfon. Once on a time fiery cannas, with their attendant groups ot salvia, occupied this space, but no one can gainsay that white blossoms appeal to the imagination much more than the vivid reds. There is a dainty little plot of deep blue and white petunias in the south garden which Mrs. Coolidge admires. It is always attractive to bees and butterflies and humming birds and seems cool and restful on the most torrid day. Marriage Licenses.
